Tuition and School

Tuition - when school is not sufficient

If the high school level is becoming a burden, often helps only qualified and personalized tutoring.

When tuition is reasonable?
When girls and boys are afraid of drowning in their class and do not dare to talk to the teacher about their weaknesses as they gain deeper technical note values, then it is time to think of the next school tutoring. It has a lot to be observed:

The students are due to stress in a position next to the school also participate in tutoring? Is there perhaps any other commitments, such as the unloved piano lessons that could be compensatory deleted from the weekly schedule? Do the boys and girls enough distraction from learning? Exercise and fresh air are always essential, so that the brain can bring those services. The sports club should not be terminated in favor of tutoring. Of course, should the financial possibilities to be considered: Good Tuition is not usually cheap.

How much is tuition?
Qualified tuition lessons cost, roughly, from 7.50 to 20 € per lesson (45 minutes). Recommended sessions are 60-90 minutes in length, based on age and stamina of the students. Often, the "quantity discounts" to be negotiated. It is important that only one class period of 45 minutes per week usually does not meet the desired purpose.

Individual tuition is more expensive than private lessons in groups. In addition, private tutoring, such as students, in many cases significantly lower than tuition at the Institute. In addition, you can also save frequently when students come to the teacher back home and this is no travel time must be calculated. Students who have no problem learning in unfamiliar surroundings, should take this possibility into account.

Usually it is also worthwhile to carry out any offers of the first school. Many schools offer tutoring, or at least internal homework help, which may already be a first aid. It also saves you money when you speak to students in higher grades. They are technically may not be as competent as a professor or a student with almost a university degree, but their hourly wages are usually more affordable - not to forget that easily develop empathy feelings, as students can empathize more easily with students, they put it in the same situation as the younger ones.

Private tuition or tutoring institute?
Tutoring services often have a far-reaching reputation, they do plenty of advertising and are not difficult to make finding. However, one should look closely at the lessons in each institution is organized: Often the lessons take place in too large groups so that the individual student can not be entrances. Some cram schools organize study groups so that together, even students from different grades and subjects. To what extent parents and students consider this to be credible, it must be checked carefully before a possible application in such a facility.

Private tutoring is usually better to just respond to individual students. In particular, students who require much attention, are better off than in the private lessons in groups. In addition, is also often the opportunity to interact with the teacher into closer contact, it is not the anonymity between parents and teachers, as it sometimes is in tutoring with frequent changes of teachers in the case.

After a careful selection of a good tutor can be said in most cases: the best tuition is worth the price and creates it in the long run to teach the students with better grades and a quality of life.
